Bert Kaempfert - "Zambesi" (1965)

[MoosicandCritters]

Yet another beautiful masterpiece! This music never gets old!

What a great song. This is just the most soothing melody I've ever heard.

[dbadenhorst]

How many people know that this is a South African composition? The composer, Nico Carstens, is a legendary South African accordion player.

@Rudistardust It's been corrected already. Thank you

a great composer and director. His orchestra was worldfamous. Typical the bass-gitar, Flügelhorn, timpany, flutes and just the Jive-dance rytm.

Words will never properly describe the amount of awesomeness of his music =D

My son "Carl Woodison" reckons this is Bert Kaempfert at his best - so much so that he has covered it himself on here. Type his name in the search and have a listen, see what you think.

Thanks

The name is Zambezi written by South African composer Nico Carnsten

[russallert]

Not wanting to be anal, but.....This song is from the album A Swingin' Safari, recorded and released in 1962. I believe the trumpet soloist is Werner Gutterer, although it could also be Manfred Moch. It was a concept album featuring music from or inspired by Africa, which is obvious from the title of this song as well as the album (other songs included Afrikaan Beat, Skokiaan and Wimoweh). Apparently, the use of the flutes was supposed to inspired by the African pennywhistle.

So many happy memories of this tune from when I was a young boy in the 60s. Kids now have nothing like this to enjoy...

TRES BELLE MUSIQUE BIEN INTERPRETER

[hrpman]

Here comes the anorak of pop - hrpman - just to say that this little gem is actually called Zambesi, not Swinging Safari. Good tune, all the same!

[TheBacmaster]

@hrpman Mr. hrpman, you are the expert here. Can you please let everyone know who the correct artist, song title and year released on this music? Thank you..

[hrpman]

@TheBacmaster Glad to be of help, Joe. The tune here is Zambesi, not Swinging Safari. It is indeed Bert Kaempfert but dates 3 years later than Swinging Safari - it comes from 1965.

[letseeitplease]

good song,,, but you titled it , a swinging safari,,,,,, its another song,,,, liked it though and thanks for posting it,
